It suddenly got very quiet around here

For the past seven nights, there have been seven people sleeping in this house.  Robert has already landed back in Texas, and Andrew is on the road taking his parents back.  That leaves only three of us sleeping in this house tonight.  Right now Catherine is at work so it is incredibly quiet.  I had to be up at 3AM to take Robert to the airport, and it's been an emotional few hours, so I'm grateful for the quiet.  I will definitely write another post soon about the rest of our week after Christmas, but right now I'm just too tired.  I am so incredibly grateful for the past week!
